Chapter 418 The Perfect Disguise

"Oh damn…Well, it is not like we didn't expect that. We knew he would be keeping it someplace very secure….a place only he…and his wife can visit," Viktor said as an idea flashed through his mind.

"What are you thinking?" Seraphina asked as she felt as if Viktor had got an idea.

"You are good at disguises, right? Can you disguise me to look like Mevron?" Viktor asked, though his words made Seraphina look at him with a blinking expression.

"No…you cannot possibly be thinking about—"

"Impersonating him? Why not? We had talked about this before as well, remember? Even if it's risky, it's also the best way to avoid getting caught," Viktor explained while Yanah, who was sitting behind him, was scanning her surroundings with a sharp eye.

She couldn't care less about what these two were discussing.

"But he is standing right in this hall. Wouldn't it be suspicious if people see two of him walking around?" Seraphina asked as her eyebrows drew together.

"This is just a hall for everyone to gather around. The ball is going to be in another hall, and everyone, including Mevron, will be there. See, people are already moving to the next hall. All you have to do is stay in the same hall as Mevron so that you can keep an eye on him. Keep Yanah near you as well. The last thing we want is her wandering around," Viktor said with a tired sigh.

"Hey…were you talking about me?" Yanah asked from behind with squinted eyes.

"You must be imagining things," Viktor said with a brief smile, to which Yanah scoffed as she looked away and continued her business.

"What if somebody asks about where you went?" Seraphina asked since this seemed very likely, considering his fame as the Goblin Slayer.

"Tell them something came up, and I had to suddenly leave even though I would be coming back later. Keep me posted using that bracelet we bought to communicate even if we won't be in the same hall. But you have to let me know if you are in trouble or somebody is giving you trouble, okay?" Viktor asked as he held her hands, wanting to make sure that she remembered this.

He didn't think that any other dickhead here would give her trouble after everyone saw what happened to the idiot who tried to act all frivolous before her.

Seraphina nodded as she softly smiled, "Yes. Don't worry. I will be fine."

"Good. Let's go to the toilet then. Send me a signal the moment the doors of the ballroom close. Only then can I come out of the toilet," Viktor said as the two began to walk towards the toilet.

"What the…Where are you two going?" Yanah asked with a piqued look as she got interrupted while scanning her surroundings.. She was already enduring a lot of humiliation and suppressing her anger by having this steel collar around her neck. But getting dragged around by a chain was even more frustrating than she thought.

Still, she was glad that it was Azu whom she had an understanding with and not some lowlife seeking to exploit her. That would have made her job even harder.

"Relax, we are just going to the toilet," Viktor calmly said.

Yanah rolled her eyes, wondering why these two had to go to the toilet now. Still, she didn't let Ara let out of her sight even after reaching the toilet where Viktor told her to stand outside, which she didn't mind since she had her attention focused on Ara.

Viktor wasn't worried she would run away or do something since there were still many people in the main hall, and he felt that Yanah wasn't the kind of person to go back on her word.

After a minute, Seraphina came out as she said, "Yanah, come. Let's go to the next hall."

Yanah was surprised as she asked, "What about your husband? Is he having some trouble in his belly?"

Seraphina's cheeks became red slightly upon hearing Yanah ask her in such a sarcastic way. She could only say with a smile, "He has some business to take care of, but we need to be in the ballroom till he says he is done. He told me specifically to tell you that once he is done, you can do whatever you want."

"Ah, I see now. He better make it fast before everyone goes home," Yanah said with crossed arms.

"Are you sure you don't need our help to get free?" Seraphina asked just to be sure.

"Aww, aren't you so cute and kind?" Yanah said as she pinched Seraphina's cheek, who slightly winced awkwardly.

"You better worry about yourself and your husband. I didn't survive all this time without having a few skills up my fins," Yanah said with a confident smirk, making Seraphina nod slowly, feeling that maybe she doesn't have to worry about someone who seems so confident.

"You don't mind if I hold the chain in my hands, right? Azu told me I should always keep you near me," Seraphina asked since she didn't want Yanah to feel uncomfortable or feel like she was a slave being dragged along.

A queen like her shouldn't deserve such poor treatment, she thought.

Yanah felt her mind become calmer by talking to Sera as she said while looking at her eyes, "If it's someone as beautiful as you leading me, I don't mind."

Seraphina felt a strange feeling from her gaze and awkwardly nodded as the two walked away.

A few minutes passed as the ball finally began in the ballroom, where everyone had gathered to attend. Seraphina saw that Mevron and everyone else had gathered inside this hall, and even the doors were closed. She immediately touched her bracelet to notify Viktor.

On the outside, in a silent corridor, the doors to the toilet opened as a handsome man with a large body frame stepped out. His robes were a grand and elegant silver made out of the finest fabric. His light blue eyes carefully swept across his surroundings as he walked away with a slight smile.
